Berit New York: Beautiful Historically Inspired Pieces

Up next was futuristic New York based label Berit New York by Britiney Frady-Williams.Britney's collection entitled 'Retro-Futurism' certainly stood out, as she unveiled her wares for the forthcoming SS 2011 season. The collection consisted of sleek city shorts, crop top bras and stunning dresses; these all became complete with the addition of a key accessory - the 50's style sunglasses!

With a contrasting colour palette of metallic and futuristic purples, and hues of a previous decade - lime green and rust, stripes were definitely a trend that translated from the collection and one that could easily be worn by us all.
